Looks like one of my empty beer cans. ;D

Doesn't look like it would have mattered much as to what you were driving, although the Smart Car was probably less painful, more instant.

Definite dead vs perhaps survived . I'll take possible surviving any day. I'm pretty sure my 4 door dually would have saved my ass tho.

Mate it pretty much doesn't matter what car you drive if you get caught in a pancake like that - I don't reckon an F350 would have fared much better at all.

I'm with chris.  Two fully loaded dump trucks with the tags down.  You're prolly lookin at 50 to 80,000 lbs each.  The front one ain't gonna move, and the rear one ain't going to stop movin...

I understand what you're saying but there's a big difference in how wadded up you'll be at ant rate. But if you think that you're just as safe in a tin can as a big vehicle well,lets play chicken.You take a tin can and I'll take my dually. Who you think is gonna win?

I guarantee you I'd have come out of that collision better in my dually than that small car did and if you wish to try and argue that point feel free. I need a laugh tonite.

Last I checked, dead is dead.  Half flat or totally flat doesn't matter, it's going to be a closed casket...
